Suspect named in fatal hunter shootings
Sheriff: Man who fired was using deer stand on private property
(CNN) -- The man who opened fire on a group of deer hunters in northwest Wisconsin, killing five and wounding three others, was using a deer stand on private property before the shooting began, Sawyer County Sheriff James Meier said Monday.
A suspect is in custody -- 36-year-old Chai Wang, of St. Paul, Minnesota -- but no formal charges have been filed against him, Meier told reporters.
"This is an incredible tragedy," Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle said. "One in which a great family tradition like a deer hunt has turned into such a great loss for the families involved. The whole state of Wisconsin feels the deepest sympathy and pain."
The shootings occurred Sunday in Sawyer County after a hunter returning to a rural cabin saw a man in a deer stand, a platform built in a tree to give hunters a better view, on private property. The hunter radioed someone to ask about the man's presence there.
Meier said the man had apparently been hunting, gotten lost and stopped a couple of hunters to ask for directions. He wandered onto 400 acres of private land.
The other hunter "approached the person and asked him to leave, at which time the landowners and the occupants of the cabin came on the scene. The suspect got down from the deer stand, walked approximately 40 yards, fiddled with his rifle in some way ... turned and opened fire on the group," Meier said.
When other hunters appeared on the scene, they also were hit by gunfire, Meier said. Some of the people suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The shooter used an SKS 7.62 mm assault rifle, the sheriff said.
Two bodies were found near each other, and the others were found over an area of about 100 yards, he said.
The dead were identified Monday as Robert Crotteau, 42, and his son, Joey Crotteau, 20; Al Laski, 43; Mark Roidt, 28; and Jessica Willers, 27, the daughter of Terry Willers who was wounded.
Terry Willers was taken to a clinic in nearby Marshfield with a neck and shoulder wound, and was said to be doing well.
Denny Drew was in critical condition Monday with an abdominal wound and extensive injuries to his large and small intestines, and pancreas. He had a three-hour operation Sunday and was improving, said Dr. Lynn Koob, a surgeon at Lakeview Medical Center.
Lauren Hesebeck is also at Lakeview with a gunshot wound to the shoulder and arm.
After the shootings, the man got lost again and was led from the woods by two hunters who were unaware of the incident. A Department of Natural Resources officer recognized the deer license on his back from a description given by one of the shooting victims, said Chief Deputy Tim Zeigle of the Sawyer County Sheriff's Department.
"We were very thankful to take him into custody. No one else got hurt," Zeigle said. "When he was taken into custody, his gun was empty."
The killings have stunned Exeland, a village of 219 people about 135 miles northeast of Minneapolis.
Barron County Sheriff Tom Richie said the victims "Are all well-known, well-respected members of the community."
The five who died were from the Rice Lake area near Birchwood. A Rice Lake Hunters Survivors and Victims Fund has been set up.
Saturday was the opening of the nine-day deer season.

LOL @ him being pissed off about you posting articles... you guys arguing... and then you just posting an update with "NUTS." lol... you're just trying to aggrevate him

Oh fo sho, crazy Americans. ;D

I think people living in America should start posting about how they hate this government, and then have Trauma get his panties in a twist telling us to leave the country if we don't like it. He might even turn all red and get furious, and start posting anti-Immigration articles. Trauma has officially lost it. You can't really blame him though.... Mormons only have sex with their brothers/sisters, and if you're an only child, like Trauma, then sexual frustration is a permanent thing.
*If Seer wants to ban me, you better have my back, Jome ;D

Well, the point which is pretty obvious to anyone with a 3rd grade intelligence, is that when someone posts "only in America", it's a smack in the face to me, as an American. I live in the greatest country in the world, and a child like Jome refuses to acknowledge anything positive about it, he only wants to talk about the negative. The 'news' is nothing but negative anymore; there is no Good News. Ironically, the hebrew word for good news is "Gospel".
Just as ludicrious would be me posting tons of negative articles about Norway, when I've never been there, never will be there, and don't know a thing about the place... yet I'm called insane while this child is propped up for his similarly ignorant posts.

I haven't necessarily merged your norway topics cause it's so ludicrous (although it is), but because it's simply bad for the ToT section since almost the whole upper half of the board is SPAMMED with norway thread which have only the purpose to provoke.. one anti-norway thread would have been nice, spamming the board with 15 is not nice.
-
O.K., I'll play your game, and fuck you up at it. Here's the top posts on this board right now.
Hunter Kills 5 - says "Only In America" in the fucking description, anti american post
Dipictions (you fuck, you can't spell) of Norway - My Anti Norway "thread"
Top 25 Safest/Most Dangerous cities in America - again posted by a foriegner, who's shown his colors in the other thread - Anti American post
Survey Results: Dems Vs. Republicans - a thread about how horrible the Republican party is (which is an American political party) - negativity about American government, again
Bill Clears Way to cut school loans - anti american government

-
that's not like your spamming though, cause the dudes who started the respective topics arent exactly one person, and the threads also arent started whithin 15 minutes.
if you would have posted 1 europe thread every week or something, noone would have merged anything, and you know it.

Well, in how many other places than in America does these shootouts happen on a regular basis.. ??
Obviously, U.S. are over-represented when it comes to maniacs going berserk in shooting frenzys, usually ending up with multiple dead people.
Some might say it's the weapon politics, I bet you'd blame it on something else, like say muslims or insane people.. :D
Top 25 Safest/Most Dangerous cities in America - again posted by a foriegner, who's shown his colors in the other thread - Anti American post
LMAO
How is it anti-American to post unbiased statistics MADE BY AMERICANS.. ?
Hilarious.
Fact is, I'm far from anti-American, it's paranoid scared to death pro-Americans like you that makes it fun to ridicule those of your kind. ;D
Seems to me that most of your fellow Americans found the statistics interesting, but you'd like to believe that there is no dangerous place in U.S. right..
Btw, I didn't leave out "SAFEST CITIES", did I.. ?
-
Jome, you should've removed the Safest Cities... and only posted half of that chart...
-
dude wasn't even american. he was an imagrant

Its funny whenever Traume goes through his period. Like when Eminem took a stab at MJ, Trauma started calling him a bitch, then went right back to saying how talented he is. This shit is always priceless.
-
Trauma is the epitome of a bitch. He whines just as much, he goes through as many moodswings, he seems to PMS, he admitted to someone ripping him off, and him wanting to go and "slash that guy's tires".... it doesn't get more pussy than that.... Trauma = BITCH-MADE
